Wahoo! Adventures and ArtReach St. Croix are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service with three special trips on the St. Croix River – our backyard National Park – in June, July, and August. The overnight trips will each include time exploring where three St. Croix Valley artists find inspiration.

Participants will spend an afternoon paddling wild and scenic stretches of the St. Croix River, and camp at a beautiful site along the river. They will also tour the artist’s nearby studio, getting a private look at their creative process. (My studio is the river and valley.)

Gourmet breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided, and a bonfire social hour with the artist. The trip includes all kayaking equipment and camping gear (air mattress, sleeping bag, and pillow), shuttle and other ground transportation, and other support throughout the trip. Groups are limited to just 12 people. The all-inclusive price is $269 per person, no kayaking experience necessary. Wahoo Adventures’ motto is, “You have the fun, we do the work.”
